TalkSPORT pundit Ally McCoist has said that he does not want Mason Mount to join Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and wants the midfielder to sign a new contract with Chelsea.
The Rangers legend has said on talkSPORT that he would like Mount to put pen to paper on a new deal with Chelsea and stay at the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners.
The Mirror have reported that Liverpool are favourites to sign England international midfielder Mount in the summer transfer window for £50 million.
The Daily Mail have reported that Liverpool have made the midfielder a “prime target” in the summer transfer window.
Mount and Chelsea reportedly cannot agree on a new deal.
Liverpool target Mason Mount told to stay at Chelsea
McCoist said when asked if Mount should stay at Chelsea, as transcribed by TBR: “I would, actually. He’s kind of lost his way a little bit.
“Which is A) understandable and B) acceptable, in a club that’s completely lost their way.
“It’s natural that younger players are going to suffer from it and maybe not fight their way through it.
“Once Pochettino or whoever comes in steadies the ship a little bit, I would like to see Mason Mount still at Chelsea. Of course I would, yes.”
Big decision ahead
In our view, Mason Mount has a big decision to make in the summer of 2023.
Chelsea and Liverpool are massive and comparable clubs, so leaving the Blues for the Reds would be a sideways move for the Englishman.
Both Chelsea and Liverpool challenge for the Premier League title on a regular basis.
And both feature in the UEFA Champions League on a consistent basis.
Mount has to make sure that if he stays at Chelsea, then he gets the deal that he deserves.
If the Englishman does switch to Liverpool, then he has to get some kind of assurance that he will stand a good chance of playing regularly for Jurgen Klopp’s team.
